Action Bibles for Students in Guatemala

We were blessed to receive a donation of more “Action Bibles” for orphans and vulnerable children in Guatemala. This enabled us to give one to each of the students at the Ravine school. The students, who come from very poor families, had never seen such amazing, illustrated, color Bibles and were excited to receive their very own copy.

We visited a national park at Lago de los Pinos where we spent the day swimming, playing soccer and relaxing by the lake.
